Add together the product cost (FOB), international freight/shipping, and insurance to get the CIF (Cost, Insurance, Freight) value. This is the assessable value for customs.

Identify HS Code & Duty Rate

Look up the correct Harmonized System (HS) code for your product. Each HS code has a specific Basic Customs Duty (BCD) rate set by the destination country's tariff schedule.

Add Additional Duties

Check for anti-dumping duties, safeguard duties, countervailing duties, or social welfare surcharges that may apply based on the product origin and current trade policies.

Calculate IGST / VAT

Apply the Integrated GST (India), VAT, or equivalent consumption tax on the total of CIF + all customs duties. The sum of all duties gives you the total landed cost.

What is Import Duty? Import duty (also known as customs duty or tariff) is a tax levied by a country's customs authority on goods imported from abroad. The rate depends on the product's HS Code (Harmonized System code), the country of origin, and the destination country's tariff schedule. Additional levies like anti-dumping duties, safeguard duties, and consumption taxes (GST, VAT) may also apply.

How CIF Value is Calculated: The assessable value for customs purposes is typically the CIF value — the sum of the product cost (FOB), international freight charges, and insurance. Basic Customs Duty is applied as a percentage of the CIF value.
